>>>>What are your thoughts of the blacks that owned white slaves?

Slavery is wrong, no matter who is practising it. Whether it is blacks enslaving blacks, or whites enslaving whites, or any other combination, slavery is wrong. Robert E. Lee was right to oppose slavery.

>>>>Slavery and comparing to communism is apples and oranges

Communism was a form of slavery. The communist governments promised the people that they would be well fed and have job security, but that all their rights and freedoms would be taken away from them. Ronald Reagan often compared communism to slavery.

“Communism was a form of slavery”

So is socialism. In fact, the only freedom is what we had and our government has taken from us.
